I am seriously -amazed- no one had killed that man yet. Even with security and everything... so many people hate him.... all security can do is kill you after you kill him. I'm sure a lot of people wouldn't mind.

A friend of mine enlisted in the Marines after 9/11. He survived Afghanistan and got sent to Iraq. I haven't heard from him in about 3 or 4 years. I don't know if he's alive.

I'm against all war. Non-violence works: Ghandi did it, MLK did it. Hell, John Lennon did it, and that scared the shit out of our government. So much so they attempted to deport him. We need to find a way to make it work on a HUGE scale. Will not happen in our lifetime, but I think it's possible.

Bush bears a lot of the blame, but our entire system is set up to ensure we continue to engage in wars like the one going on in Iraq right now. Have you seen that documentary "Why we fight"? That movie dissects the military-industrial complex pretty thoroughly.
